Anniversary Samsung Galaxy S10 to come with new design, more colors

Samsung is
celebrating ten years of Galaxy S flagships next year and the company is
planning a new anniversary smartphone to mark the occassion. At first, we heard
about a trio of new phones with up to three cameras at the rear, and later we
had a confirmation from DJ Koh, the Mobile Division CEO that none of them would
be foldable - this will be an entirely different smartphone.

The mobile chief
has now added a few more details to the picture, saying that the Galaxy S10
will arrive with a “significant change in appearance” and there will be more
intriguing color options.

The source does not reveal much more, but he
is credible enough to trust him. If the Galaxy S10 will indeed have a new look,
it means the edge-to-edge Infinity Display with curved edges will go away and
make room for something even more impressive (hopefully).

Rumors about Samsung flagships arriving with
fingerprint scanners under the OLED have been surfacing for the last two-three
years, but now the info looks plausible, given that even midrangers sporting
the tech are available.

Latest info from Korean sources is the
biometric scanning technology would replace the Iris Scanner and might bring 3D
face recognition to complement the fingerprint.

Speaking of colors, Samsung Galaxy S9 was
first introduced in Black, Blue, Gray, and Lilac Purple, but later was joined
by Burgundy Red and Sunrise Gold. Metallic Copper arrived with the Galaxy
Note9, and we can wholeheartedly hope for a Forest Green shade or a gradient
option that is now so popular across Chinese manufacturers.
